Chapter 339 / Chapter 340

"However, there are still some solutions."

After sighing, Su Chen continued speaking.

"No matter who arrives next, at least that one can help us find out where their forces are located."

Su Chen looked up at the sky outside, seemingly anticipating the arrival of the Celestials Gods.

Meanwhile, the Eradicator's spaceship was repeatedly hopping through wormholes, gradually approaching Earth.

However, looking at the entire universe, judging from the positions he keeps jumping around, it seems that he is still a small distance away from Earth.

Meanwhile, in addition to the Eradicator efforts, something unusual seems to be happening in Universe 1 as well.

"Someone has made contact with the Seven Lantern Legion!"

Deep within Universe 1, atop several towering stone pillars, a group of strangely shaped figures stood solemnly, seemingly speaking to each other.

Their heads appeared unusually large, and they were always draped in long red robes that covered their entire bodies and almost completely obscured the stone pillar below!

Currently, the only entity in this universe capable of finding this location is the Green Lantern Corps; to be precise, their location is not far from the Green Lantern Corps.

And those figures on it, whose body proportions seem somewhat disproportionate, are the Guardians.

They didn't know how much time had passed since they arrived here; perhaps they had been here even before humankind was born.

They possessed immortality, and through immortality, they also possessed other technologies. Except for a pillar that appeared to be broken, they were all intact and remained here.

Although the person on that broken pillar has disappeared, it does not mean that he is gone.

This Guardians, whom I met but never saw again, was initially drawn to a different kind of power besides courage and willpower: the power of fear.

He attempted to harness this power to create Yellow Lantern Legion similar to the Green Lantern Corps, but unfortunately, an accident occurred during the process. He was devoured by the power and became its puppet.

However, this also shows the power of the Guardians; even if they cannot control the power, this power cannot completely kill them.

As Su Chen defeated seven Legion, some news seemed to have reached the ears of these Guardians as well.

After all, these Guardians want to observe the entire universe, and their information channels certainly don't only come from the Green Lantern Corps; they also have their own methods.

At this moment, all seven Legion remained obediently in place, waiting for Su Chen's arrival.

But some of the Guardians were getting restless.

They knew better than anyone else the strength of the seven Legion, or rather, the secret of their combined Legion.

"Is he trying to possess the power of creation?"

"This is impossible! It's utterly absurd! He was just a mortal; how could they possibly possess such power!"

The Guardians whispered among themselves.

Just as in another universe, the Celestials' discovery of six Infinity Stones on Earth touched a nerve.

The Guardians, wielding the pinnacle of power from Universe 1, also felt uneasy after discovering that Su Chen had come into contact with their seven most powerful Emotional Spectrum powers.

"Ultimate power should not be touched by mere mortals like us!"

"Moreover, he seems to possess other forbidden powers; such a person must absolutely not be allowed to touch those Legion!"

The Guardians whispered among themselves, seemingly having reached another agreement.

"Perhaps we can temporarily employ another forbidden power; only the forbidden can counter the forbidden!"

"Wouldn't that kind of power be too terrifying? You know, we paid a considerable price last time we subdued this kind of power!"

"So what? At least last time, this force didn't wipe out all seven Legion, but look at this time, all seven Legion have been driven back home!"

Then, the Guardians seemed to have some disagreements, and they argued with each other about something.

Some people showed a fanatical expression, while others showed hesitation and fear.

Finally, they were about to unleash something that would terrify even the Guardians...

"But at least we controlled it the first time, so we can continue to control it in the same way in the future..."

Chapter 339

Amidst the heated argument, the Guardians seemed to have split into two completely different camps.

A fanatical figure, eager to unleash a monster that terrifies them all, and to use such a monster against Su Chen and the Utopia Alliance.

As for the other camp, they hesitated, wondering if defeating Su Chen would require such a high price.

"We have defeated that kind of being before, which means we possess the means to defeat it."

"As for that unfamiliar Su Chen, we have no solution right now. In other words, even if we gather all seven of them together, we might not be able to defeat him."

"What a bunch of idiots! Those seven Legion took turns attacking one after another. Don't they understand the principle of swarming in?"

The Guardians continued their discussion, all expressing a sense of disappointment and frustration with the seven Legion.

Although they didn't directly see what the seven Legion Su Chen was fighting looked like, they could glean information from other channels they could detect.

This group of seemingly foolish guys took turns attacking Su Chen idiots, only to be defeated one by one by him in the end.

This immediately caused some resentment among the Guardians.

Am I stupid?

"But if we send that guy out, we won't have to worry about these problems. His Legion is a cohesive unit, and we won't have to worry about being defeated piecemeal."

"And we can impose some restrictions on its rings, so we don't have to worry that after defeating that damned Su Chen, his Legion will continue to spread and become a new scourge."

"What he needs is not his own death, so perhaps we can designate a small area, and within that area, based on the death he desires, trap or confine him. In this way, the strength of this Legion can also be used by us."

As the Guardians continued their discussion, new ideas seemed to emerge.

The guardians who had initially been terrified of the monster gradually regained their composure, seemingly agreeing with their companions' assessment.

"In that case, let's vote by raising our hands."

Seeing that their companions seemed to have gradually come to a conclusion, one of the Guardians spoke up and offered his suggestion.

"Those who agree to release them to defeat the mysterious Su Chen, please raise your hands..."

As soon as one person finished speaking, eleven hands were raised in unison.

"If he were still here, I don't think he would object to this opinion either, after all, Su Chen had just defeated the Legion represented by his power."

Several Guardians glanced at the broken stone pillar, a hint of regret flashing in their eyes, but they still spoke up.

That Guardians, unable to control the power of fear, was imprisoned within the source of fear's energy, unable to release it, because of someone else's actions.

As time goes by, it will gradually be assimilated by fear, eventually becoming a vessel for fear. Such immortality is far too tragic compared to the other Guardians now.

Because of these past lessons, the other Guardians, while controlling the Green Lantern Corps, did not attempt to access any of the Emotional Spectrum's energies.

They use this energy, and at the same time, they fear it.

Then, these Guardians all closed their eyes.

But gradually, a white mist appeared among them, which was the source of their consciousness.

Their bodies remained on these stone pillars, but their wills could leave for a short time; similarly, these wills also sealed a gate.

In the vast white fog, a black opening gradually appeared, and inside, besides the bottomless darkness, there seemed to be a strangely familiar scent of death.

"Why would you old fogies suddenly think of me? Weren't you going to keep me imprisoned here forever?"

Inside the dark opening, a pair of bloodshot eyes suddenly rose.

Accompanied by a chilling laugh, a somewhat deep voice emerged from the hollow space.

"A new enemy has emerged in this universe. Although the Legion defeated you at that time, considering that you created a new Spectrum energy, we did not completely annihilate you, but instead left you to remain in this shadow prison forever."

···Requesting flowers···· ·

The consciousness of these Guardians radiated a powerful energy, and they spoke to this individual in a calm and unhurried voice.

"In a sense, we also acknowledge you as a member of the Legion, and now this universe has been ravaged by a guy, even when the Legion wasn't around. If this guy's opponents don't stop him, this universe will suffer unspeakable destruction."

The Guardians's consciousness continued to be transmitted into this black hole.

Suddenly, there was no sound inside the black hole.

"The Seven Lantern Legion has been defeated?"

... 0

After an unknown amount of time, a deep voice resounded again from within the black hole, but this time, a sense of doubt could be heard in its tone.

"Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Legion lost their combat capabilities and were unable to continue fighting for a short period of time, so we thought of you at this time."

"You can choose to stay here, and we'll find other alternatives. But if you're willing to participate in this unknown operation, perhaps we can designate a small area as a habitat for the Black Lantern Corps."

"You can have the freedom you never had from me, and you can have the death you once had from me."

"Of course, you must accept our jurisdiction and cannot allow the deaths to spread wantonly."

The Guardians's consciousness continued to hover above this black hole.

"So, such a powerful being has appeared in this universe now?"

As for the pair of eyes inside the black hole, they didn't seem to react much to the conditions proposed by the Guardians, and simply continued to mutter to themselves.

"Great! This is so exciting! We can defeat the Seven Lantern Legion..."

The owner of those eyes was still muttering to himself, but his voice suddenly lowered, becoming so faint that even the Guardians circling outside couldn't hear it.

"How I wish a guy like that could be a member of the Black Lantern Corps!" Mountain.

Chapter 340

"What kind of enemy have we encountered this time?"

"Someone actually dares to attack our side? Could it be that giant robot that mysteriously appeared last time?"

"I heard the other side has quite a powerful background; this time, even the Supreme is planning to take action personally!"

Meanwhile, in the various branches of the Earth Utopia Alliance, staff members were whispering among themselves.

In comparison, the atmosphere of panic wasn't particularly strong; instead, there was a strong sense of curiosity.

And those feelings of panic, even if they just appear, are fleeting and disappear quickly.

With their adversary now identified, the entire planet, led by the Utopia Alliance, has entered a new state of readiness.

Although Su Chen only hoped they wouldn't be too weak, as the creator of the once highly intelligent life on Earth, he still needed to make some preparations.

When friends come from afar, do they bring swords, spears, or clubs?

The entire Earth has declared a Level 2 readiness state.

It hasn't even reached level one yet...

However, this situation also made the staff of the Utopia Alliance more serious. At the same time, Earth closed its channels of communication with other external forces. In the short term, these external forces will not be able to reach Earth, or even access the space around Earth.

The replacement members of the First Legion, who were newly added to the Earth, and the replacement members of the Third Legion, who were newly recruited, also began to take up their posts one after another.

On one hand, it was to guard against the arrival of the Celestials; on the other hand, it was to allow them to work together quickly and accelerate their journey to Universe 1.

"This ring is truly amazing..."

Now back in Manhattan, Su Chen sat in his old home, marveling at the seven rings on his hand.

As the entire after-school care alliance entered a state of combat readiness, and with everyone's emotions being stirred, the ring on Su Chen's hand seemed to sense something.

The first thing to light up is naturally the green ring, which represents courage and will. Since Su Chen returned to Earth, the light shining on this ring has never dimmed.

The entire Earth was now filled with this one power, especially after the declaration of a state of combat readiness, the entire ring shone even brighter.

In addition, the yellow ring, which represents fear, was also brighter than usual, though not as conspicuous as the green ring next to it.

"After all, it's war, and some people will still be afraid. That's good, at least it proves that they are still living, breathing human beings, and not some messy War Machine."

Seeing this, Su Chen was not dissatisfied with the fear these people felt; on the contrary, Su Chen was extremely satisfied.

A person who possesses all emotions is a true human being.

Su Chen even felt a faint sense of regret, as he had never experienced this kind of fear before.
